AUGUST 2002-
Hey,
Just done some recent gigs , They were great
! Sorry its been so long.For
those of you at Glastonbury this year it was great to see so many
up for it people getting down. It was a great night , also apologies
for being a bit knackered , it was Sunday night after all , and
Ned had been up all 2 nights with 1 hour sleep in front of the pyramid
stage. So there you are , but Saturdays impromptu gig at the casino
bar was tighter, and there was also another one on the monday ,
but it wasnt really the egg , with all kinds of unexpected guests.
Anyway no-one seemed to mind , especially the naked couple 'doing
things' in front of the right speakers (now what would your mother
say ?- unless that was her)
We did some experimentation
with 2 bass players , one playing keyboard bass, one analog, anyway
hope everyone liked the gig,what
did YOU think ? , Well we kind of thought it worked . Well definetely
have a bigger stage next time , hopefully , theres just no point
in a low key gig , is there?
The gigs at the Tabernacle
in London went great - you may not have noticed , but it was kind
of experimental and underground - and we did it in secret ..join
the mailing list , and youll
find these things out..
.Shambala
was ace too and all on video , well have to chop it up and that
ll take ages, knowing us , but well try to stick it on a cd or something
along with music.
Gigs at Canterbury, Bristol
and Brighton were great ! -- thanks to everyone who came , and all
those who made it happen , photos will appear soon.

if you want
funk , then apart from quickstep , it may not be you cup of tea
,but for the melloness of super relaxation , its the ticket...Most
of the tracks are on other compilation albums : you can now
buy
mellowmania from dolphindiscs.com
(actually
theyve sold out temporarily, try again soon)
Lost at sea

July 29th saw
Venice Beach on new Big Chill Summer Compilation , and this time

March

Hi, sorry for the delay, its been a bit tricky uploading
recently, but now its ok
Thanks
to everyone who came to the recent spat of gigs . well do some more
soon. and shambala fest looks likely this year , as does a 'sundaze
' organized do in sheffield on 19th july- with Hexstatic etc...
were
working on a new album , and have just done a cd rom , with videos
of gigs etc , Its not properly released as yet , but maybe we can
do something for you special people...
Everyone
said we hadnt updated the site for ages which is ,, er ,, true ,
so we added a bit to the slide
show ,,,, you can play tunes below while letting it flick through....oh
the joy of it all....
we
promise to add groovy new movies n stuff, were so busy its difficult
to find the time , what with recording ! ( and we all want a bit
of that dont we ?. ...... yes...
well we do)
new
stuff is sounding ace , some funky as ever , played at the recent
gigs, some supermellow, such is the double sided sticky back plastic
way we end up doing things...well there you are
and this
page is such a mess ! maybe well put gig listing elsewhere , but
then again...........we may not get our tea
APRIL
03
OK we
did some stuff to the site and put up a few movies
from live gigs (theyre all live arent they?) but theyre rather large
so youll need broadband (at least 500k modems) unless you want to
make yourself a large cup of tea for 5- 10 mins, and some of what
we project behind us... Weve been getting into live video triggering
, using video and cartoon animations projected . Very exiting, no
honestly , really it is.
AND Were
seriously planning a 12' release for the end of june/ early july
, but at first on 12' only, we may add cd versions in August, and
planning a new album for september/ october!!
oh YES TRIPLANE
has been an act by maff from the egg (drums), toby pascoe from breakbeat
era, and chris powell , its done 3 12"s on jelly records, microbe(france)
and angel's egg(japan) and recently had 'something to get exited
about' out on' future jazz 9' comp or something. on compost records
, who are ace. its got a 3d cover aswell
Cheers for now
